Naked 2 Holiday Tutorial!

4:21 PM

Hi everyone! I'm so excited for this weekend! My birthday is the 14th so I'll be celebrating tomorrow with my family and I'm actually really looking forward to it. I even think I may record some vlog footage just because hubby and I special ordered a cake and it's just too awesome not to share. As another year has gone by, I somehow feel like I am comfortable being the age that I am although being officially in the upper 20's probably means I should stop posting my age, right? ;)

Anyway, this time of year is also the time for a lot of celebration and tons of holiday parties! In lieu of that, I thought I would create an updated holiday look my Naked 2 Palette (review here) which also has a modern twist!

Somehow I feel like I can't get the exact true color of Lollipop to come across properly, but it is somewhere between these photos and the video. It's a vibrant orchid fuchsia pink with plenty of pigmentation, which I feel is a fun take on the classic red holiday lip!

Here's a close-up so you can see the shading of the eyeshadow. Verve really is such a pleasing oyster, silver-taupe color that brings a lot of light to the eyes.

Gotta love those holiday lights! Classic makeup during the holidays is always a no-fail look. For those of you who shy away from bright lipsticks, I encourage you to take a step out of your comfort zone and try a bright fuchsia or red! I love Cherry Tart and Lollipop from Revlon's Lip Butters, but I also really LOVE NYX's Round lipstick in Fusion, Snow White and Eros (swatches here) as well as Black Label lipsticks in Orchid and Cherry (swatches here).

Happy holiday partying and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Let me know if you decide to try out this look, or at least attempt a bold lip this season. ^__^

Love the look that you did with Naked 2. I received my palette the other day and used it yesterday. I really like the colors that are in this palette. In Naked 1, my favorite is Half-Baked, which is included in Naked 2 (woo hoo!). In Naked 2, my favorite color is Pistol.

Love your bright lips! I still haven't been able to find the Revlon Lip Butters here in Hawaii. I can't wait until it finally arrives here. We are always so slow to get new products.

Hey, Jen! I absolutely love all your tutorials and reviews.I wanted to ask you what's the difference between Skin79 Super Plus BB Cream Hot Pink and Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream. I purchased the first one last summer after watching your review but I think it makes my skin a little oily during the day. Now I'm looking for another BB Cream. I really loved mine except for that little problem and I'd like to try other products from Skin79. What would you recommend?^^

love your looks! thanks for previewing the Nake 2 palette! i love your tutorials and i would always like to know how you properly blend your eyeshadow? i generally understand but do you have any particular tips for how to direction the brushes etc? i see you use circular motions? can't wait to see more tutorials!

Hi Jean,I'm also one of the many petites who definitely have problems finding a right blazer. After I read your blog,I went to H&M got this when it's still available at size 2. I wanted to do a compare between gray and black, but only gray is available at this size. Hope they will restock them soon.Helen from Helenslookbook
